The information in this Notice is a summary of certain Policy features that have changed since the last current Prospectus. This may not reflect all of the changes that have occurred since You entered into Your Policy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION YOU SHOULD CONSIDER ABOUT THE POLICY

Your Policy prospectus dated May 1, 2011, as supplemented, contains more information about the Policy’s features, benefits, and risks.

	FEES AND EXPENSES			Location in Prospectus
Are There Charges for Early Withdrawal?	Yes. If You elect the Life with Emergency Cash® annuity payment option, You may be subject to a surrender charge during the first four years after annuitization. The surrender charge is based on the adjusted Policy Value, not the premium payment and ranges from 4% to 0% after more than 4 years. Example: If You make an early withdrawal under the Life with Emergency Cash® option, You could pay a surrender charge of up to $4,000 on a $100,000 investment. This loss will be greater if there is a negative Policy Adjustment, taxes, or tax penalties. If You withdraw or transfer money from a Guaranteed Period Option of the Fixed Account before the end of its term, the Insurance Company may apply an Excess Interest Adjustment, which may be negative. The adjustment reflects changes in interest rates since the time of deposit and may apply to full or partial surrenders, transfers, or annuitization from the Fixed Account. Example: If You allocate $100,000 to a Fixed Account with a 5-year guarantee and withdraw the entire amount in year 2 when interest rates have increased by 3%, You could lose up to $3,052 of Your investment. This loss will be greater if You also have to pay a surrender charge, taxes, and tax penalties.			Annuity Policy Fee Table and Expense Examples Expenses Excess Interest Adjustment
Are There Transaction Charges?	Yes.  Transfer Fee. The transfer fee, if any is imposed, applies to each Policy, regardless of how Policy Value is allocated among the investment choices. There is no fee for the first 12 transfers per Policy Year. For additional transfers, the Company may charge a fee of $10 per transfer. Special Service Charge. We may deduct a charge for special services, such as overnight delivery. Premium Taxes. Fees vary by state and currently range from 0% to 3.5% which are deducted upon surrender, annuitization or death benefit payout.			Annuity Policy Fee Table and Expense Examples Expenses

	RISKS			Location in Prospectus
Is There a Risk of Loss From Poor Performance?	Yes. You can lose money by investing in the Policy. The value of Your investment will fluctuate based on the performance of the underlying investment options You choose. These options include various Subaccounts that invest in mutual fund Portfolios. If the investments perform poorly, Your Policy Value may decrease, and You could lose some or all of the money You invested. You bear the entire investment risk for all amounts allocated to the Separate Account. There is no guarantee that the investment options will perform well, and You could lose the amount You allocate to them.			Summary Investment Choices - Selection of Underlying Portfolios
Is This a Short-Term Investment?	No. This Policy is not a short-term investment and is not appropriate for investors who need ready access to cash. It is designed for long-term financial planning, such as retirement savings. It offers tax-deferred growth, optional lifetime income benefits, and other features that are best suited for individuals who intend to hold the Policy for many years. Any withdrawals may be subject to surrender charges (specifically under the Life with Emergency Cash® option), any income tax on earnings and federal penalties if taken before age 59 ½. Any Fixed Account withdrawals may be subject to a negative Excess Interest Adjustment if withdrawn before the end of a guaranteed period which could reduce the amount You receive, especially if interest rates have risen since the time of deposit.			Summary The Fixed Account Access to Your Money
What are the Risks Associated with Investment Options?	Some Subaccounts may be available for certain policies and may not be available for all policies. You should work with Your registered representative to decide which Subaccount(s) may be appropriate for You based on a thorough analysis of Your particular insurance needs, financial objectives, investment goals, time horizons and risk tolerance. Transamerica reserves the right to eliminate or substituteany Portfolio if it becomes unavailable or inappropriate. New Subaccounts may be added, and existing ones may be removed at Transamerica’s discretion. An investment in this Policy is subject to the risk of poor investment performance and can vary depending on the performance of the Investment Options available under the Policy. Each Portfolio, including the Fixed Account, has its own investment strategy, fees, and risk profile. The Fixed Account carries risk if You withdraw early, due to Excess Interest Adjustments. Volatility Control Strategies One or more of the underlying fund Portfolios that may be designated investment options under each optional rider, in part, may include a volatility control strategy. Volatility control strategies, in periods of high market volatility, could limit Your participation in market gains; this may conflict with Your investment objectives by limiting Your ability to maximize potential growth of Your Policy Value and, in turn, the value of any guaranteed benefit that is tied to investment performance. You should carefully evaluate with Your financial adviser whether to invest in underlying fund Portfolios with volatility control strategies, taking into consideration the potential positive or negative impact that such strategy may have on Your investment objectives, Your Policy Value and the benefits under the riders. You bear the full investment risk, and the value of Your Policy may decline based on the performance of the Portfolios You select. Some Portfolios may employ volatility control strategies, which can limit participation in market gains and may not align with all investment objectives. You should carefully review the prospectuses of the available Portfolios to understand their objectives, risks, and fees.			Investment Choices Performance The Annuity Policy
What are the Risks Related to the Insurance Company?	An investment in the Policy is subject to risks related to Transamerica Life Insurance Company, the issuing insurance company.

If the insurance company were to become insolvent or otherwise unable to meet its financial obligations, You could lose some of all of the benefits provides under the Policy. Transamerica is required by state insurance regulators to maintain sufficient reserves and capital to meet its obligations.

	RESTRICTIONS			Location in Prospectus
Are There Restrictions on the Investment Options?	Yes. Transamerica reserves the right to impose a charge for transfers in excess of 12 transfers per Policy Year. Transamerica reserves the right to limit transfers in circumstances of market timing or disruptive trading. The Fixed Account option may not be available for investment depending on when You applied for Your Policy and when it was issued.

Are There any Restrictions on Policy Benefits?	Yes. Certain optional benefits limit or restrict the Investment Options that You may select under the Policy. We reserve the right to change these restrictions in the future. Guaranteed Lifetime Withdrawal Benefit (GLWB) Income Select for Life Rider Only available during the accumulation phase and requires allocation of 100% of Policy Value to designated investment options. Withdrawals exceeding the Maximum Annual Withdrawal Amount (MAWA) are considered excess withdrawals. These withdrawals reduce the total withdrawal base (TWB) and minimum remaining withdrawal amount (MRWA) by the greater of the dollar amount of the excess withdrawal or a pro rata amount based on the reduction in Policy Value. Excess withdrawals may eliminate the rider’s guarantees. The rider terminates upon annuitization, death of the Annuitant (or spouse if joint life), assignment of the Policy or if Policy Value is reduced to zero due to excess withdrawals. Initial Payment Guarantee (IPG) Only applies to variable annuity payments and is irrevocable once elected at annuitization. Payments are adjusted annually but will not fall below a guaranteed minimum and can’t be canceled or modified after election. Life with Emergency Cash® Option Allows partial or full surrenders during the income phase and is subject to a surrender charge of up to 4% for the first four years after annuitization. Partial surrenders reduce future annuity payments pro rata. Modifications by the Insurance Company Transamerica reserves the right to change or terminate optional benefits under specific conditions, eliminate or substitute investment options, refuse or limit premium payments or transfer and to modify fees for optional benefits at the time of election. In some cases, a benefit may not be available through all financial intermediaries or all states.

Expenses Purchase - Allocation of Premium Payments Investment Choices - Addition, Deletion, or Substitution of Investments
	TAXES			Location in Prospectus
What Are the Policy’s Tax Implications?	You will generally not be taxed on increases in the value of Your Policy until they are withdrawn. Earnings on Your Policy are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when withdrawn, and You may have to pay a penalty tax if You take a withdrawal before age 59 ½. If You purchase the Policy as an individual retirement account or through a tax qualified plan, You do not get any additional tax benefit since the plan already provides tax deferral. Consult with a tax adviser to understand how the Policy affects Your personal tax situation.			Taxes
	CONFLICT OF INTEREST			Location in Prospectus
How Are Investment Professionals Compensated?	Some investment professionals may receive compensation for selling the Policy to investors. This compensation may be paid in various forms, including: Commissions that are paid to broker dealers and their representatives for selling the Policy. Revenue Sharing where payments made by fund managers or affiliates to the distributor or selling firms for marketing support and access to distribution networks. Compensation from affiliates and third parties that includes promotional incentives such as cash bonuses, gifts, meals, and other non-cash benefits. All of these payments may be based on factors such as the volume of sales, assets under management and participation in marketing programs or conferences. Investment professionals may have a financial incentive to recommend or offer this Policy over other investment options due to the compensation they receive. You should consider asking Your investment professional about any compensation arrangements that may influence their recommendation. Our affiliate, Transamerica Capital, LLC (“TCL”) (formerly known as Transamerica Capital, Inc. (“TCI”)) is the principal underwriter and may share the revenue we earn on this Policy with Your investment professional’s firm.			Other Information – Distribution of the Policies
Should I Exchange My Policy?	Before exchanging Your Policy, You should carefully compare the features, fees and benefits of both Policies. You should be aware of any surrender charges or penalties for terminating Your current Policy and know whether the new Policy better meets Your financial goals. You should not exchange another annuity for this one unless You determine, after knowing all the facts, that the exchange is in Your best interest and not simply better for the person trying to sell You this Policy. Some investment professionals may have a financial incentive to recommend that You exchange Your existing annuity Policy for a new one. This is because they may receive new commissions or other compensation for the sale.			Other Information – Distribution of the Policies
